The Foundation provided a $60,000 grant to the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire. In a recent post, the ARLNH in Bedford expressed its gratitude, saying the grant will "help expand our existing programs and provide educational opportunities to the community."

3. See the latest pets in Bedford area shelters waiting to find a forever home! Meet a rabbit named Marshy. This medium-size male rabbit is spayed/neutered and his vaccinations are up to date. In a recent post, Petfinder writes, "I LOVE lettuce and munching on my hay all day, what a life! I seem to prefer to be a single rabbit, I have met a couple of rabbits here and I didn't care for them. But I could be a really sweet companion for older kids who are looking for something to love!" To find out more about Marshy and other shelter pets, call (603) 472-3647 to speak with an adoption counselor! (Bedford Patch)
